		<description><![CDATA[Guest post by Julius If there was a category of attraction defined as “cool-weird-serene-semi-boring-relaxing” Bang Pa In would fall into it. Not knowing much of the history of it—beyond my memory of what Jay had explained it to me as, some King, who took an interest in european/asian culture/architecture, thus building a summer palace at home that comprised [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Our bus arrived late in Ayutthaya. Short on time, we scrambled on our bikes to tour the city at dusk. That was one happy accident. The ruins at twilight were breathtaking. The colours, vibe and atmosphere were unreal, like a dream. Wat Phukhao Thong (เจดีย์ภูเขาทอง) When the western world first discovered Siam, Ayutthaya was the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Burma Railway is a 415 km railway between Bangkok, Thailand and Rangoon, Myanmar &#8211; built by the Empire of Japan during World War II to support its forces in the Burma campaign. The sea route, namely through Malaysia and Singapore, is patrolled by the reputable British navy, hence the construction of this very difficult route. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are no bicycle racks here, no posts, pipes or loops whatsoever to secure our bikes. So we got creative. Upon arriving at the museum, I wasn&#8217;t be entirely convinced with the signs on the building (given the proliferation of piracy in Thailand). However, it&#8217;s not too shabby inside. Too bad cameras weren&#8217;t allowed, there&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

You wouldn&#8217;t even suspect one of World War II&#8217;s big epics happened here. Have you ever read the novel, or seen the film &#8220;The Bridge on the River Kwai&#8221;?

		<description><![CDATA[Walked out of Nakhon Pathom&#8217;s train station and it was squarely right front of us. The scale of the chedi is huge compared to the rest of the town, which, after all, is named after the chedi. It appeared small for &#8220;the largest chedi in Thailand&#8221; from the train station, where I first saw it. [...]]]></description>

I know, I know but you&#8217;ll be surprised with the prevalence of bungalows with Greek columns, Tudor facades and &#8220;Some Exotic Asian&#8221; roof, not only in Thailand but in [...]]]></description>

Why would you &#8230; &#8230; in a climate where the temperature under shade is a constant 25˚C whole year round with wide-open highways ripe for stacking layers of freeways above &#8230; [...]]]></description>

If extra-terrestrials think alike, I think they&#8217;ll choose Pattaya to visit as the seediest side of planet Earth!!!
